Class: StudyDialog

WebComponents. StudyDialog

This is a custom HtmlElement (Web Component). The tag name is the following:

<cq-study-dialog>

Creates and manages study dialogs based on the corresponding study library entry (title, inputs, outputs, parameters, etc.).

Requires CIQ.UI.StudyEdit.

Attributes

The following attributes are supported (but not observed for changes):

attribute description
cq-study-axis Displays UI for selecting the y-axis position (left, right, etc.), color and for inverting the y-axis if not shared with the primary-axis.
cq-study-panel Displays UI for selecting the panel for the study (own, shared, etc.) and whether it is rendered as an underlay (under the primary chart) or an overlay (over the primary chart). Set this attribute to "alias" to have the panel names listed as "<Panel 1>", "<Panel 2>", etc.

Emitters

A custom event will be emitted from the component when it updates a study. See CIQ.UI.BaseComponent#emitCustomEvent for details on how to listen for this event. The details of the event contain the following:

property value
emitter this component
cause "useraction"
effect "update"
action "change"
updates updated settings

cause and action are set only when the dialog is updated as a direct result of changing a form field.

<protected> new StudyDialog()

Since:
  • 5.2.0 Optional Attributes cq-study-axis and cq-study-panel are now available.
  • 6.3.0 cq-study-axis now also provides a check box allowing users to invert study y-axis if not shared with the primary-axis.
  • 9.1.0 Added emitter.
  • 10.0.0 Line Style dropdown is now activated when output is an object
Example

Here is an example of how to create a study dialog. We add the cq-study-axis and cq-study-panel attributes to enable form fields used to control axis position, color, study panel, and underlay/overlay. 

<cq-dialog>
     <cq-study-dialog cq-study-axis cq-study-panel></cq-study-dialog>
</cq-dialog>

emitCustomEvent(params)

Emits a custom event from the webcomponent. The event type of the emitted event is determined by the particular user action taken. Up to two events are emitted when this function is executed. The first is an event with the type of action performed, if there is one. For example, events which are spawned without user action will not emit this first event. The second event will have a type derived from the component name. For example, the cq-study-legend component will emit a "StudyLegend" type event. The payload of the event will contain a detail section specifying the component which emitted the event as well as the effect - which more clearly defines the type of action causing the emittance. The detail section may also include custom fields further categorizing the event and providing additional information. These details are documented within the web component's documentation.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
params object
Properties
Name Type Argument Default Description
cause string <optional>

The cause of the event. e.g., useraction, timeout, alert. Defaults to "useraction" if not set and action parameter is set.

focusNextItem(items [, reverse] [, loop])

Focuses the next item in the tab order.

Locates the first element in items that has a cq-focused attribute. If an element is found, the attribute is removed from all elements in items, and cq-focused is applied to the element that follows (in the tab order) the element that was found.

If no elements are found with the cq-focused attribute, the attribute is applied to the first element in items (last element if reverse is true). If the last element in items (first element if reverse is true) is found to have the cq-focused attribute, focus remains on that element. Unless loop is set to true, then focus is applied to first element.

Parameters:

A list of elements that are selectable via keyboard navigation.
reverse boolean <optional>

If true, the operation is performed in reverse order; that is, from the last element in items to the first.
